For some odd reason I'm not receiving credit whenever I take out one of the bounties. I only get nth metal as I am still stuck 0/3.
Are you sure you're doing it right? There are two missions: "Beasts of War" which is weekly, and "Beast Taming" which is daily. You need to do "Beast Taming" three times to complete "Beasts of War". Simply defeating bounties without a mission in your journal doesn't give you credit for the mission. However, every bounty drops Nth Metal regardless of whether you have it or not.
Thanks guys! I actually found that out yesterday while playing. When I did the event Tuesday I accidently did Beast Taming before accepting the Beast Wars mission which confused me since this is my first time doing the Anniversary Event.
